You may ask why not just use the gopro de-fish software instead of changing the lens?

Answer: The correction tools in GoPro Studio 2.0 removing the fisheye will twist the edge of the video to even worse. Every time you yaw your helicopter it will make a very hard and narrow point of movement and the edge will be strange. That is the reason most customers replace the original with the 5.4 mm flat lens from Ragecams.

Special thanks to Tom Keegan he has posted four links to his Dropbox with short video clips of the exact same scene. These clips are right out of the camera with NO post-processing of any kind to show exactly how this lens compares to the original GoPro lens. You can download these original files & play them side by side to do your own comparisons.

here is the ultimate youtube review from one of our customers using the lens as macro & fpv on a quadcopter

This installation has to be done by RageCams only, we do not recommend that you try to install this lens yourself due to the difficult /precision process.

Please note that if you want to use the lcd bacpac making it all watertight that the touch lcd compartment will not work as the camera fits too tight and will cause focus issues, you need the non touch waterproof back used for the older LCD version 1 or the battery back pack door with the foam removed from both.

If you want to order this Mod simply order this lens & mail us your camera, we can turn it around quickly.

we also now offer a slip on day filter for the front of the lens to make it perfect in the day, then simply remove the filter off the front of the lens to see ir light/night vision infrared use.

Filter cost is $55.00 extra

The waterproof backing for the the lcd screen is 49.00

New to the market, dont be fooled by cheaper lenses that dont fit or are low quality, only trust a RageCams lens!

if you have a hero3 you will require a RageCams service mod to your camera or you can order the camera from us already set up to film, this mod has to be done by RageCams if you have a hero3 camera only. If you buy the lens from us, We charge $449.00 to install the 5.4mm on your hero3 black, & we guarantee our work, fully insured, so we take full responsibility when modding your camera. Works great with the Tarot TL68A00 Gopro Camera Mount Gimbal V2 for DJI Phantom Walkera QR X350

We or you can always return your gopro hero3 back to stock after using this lens mod service

To use this modded camera lens in the waterproof case for the hero3 you need to pull off the foam piece located in the rear door of the waterproof case housing.
Thats the only way it will fit in a waterproof case correctly.

This semi wide realistic view 5.4mm 10mp lens looks amazing, & your gopro hero3 camera will be able to accept a different variety of lenses never before offered. Finally a non fish eye look at the highest quality to date.
New RageCams exclusive hero3 mod will allow you to use other lenses we sell also including the 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 12mm, 16mm, & 25mm. You can macro focus this lens on objects that are 1 inch from the lens like a microscope if needed, but objects that are farther away will be out of focus. We suggest using a lcd monitor if you constantly want to change your focus or lenses. The recommended focus is done by focusing on an object that is 200ft away, then all of the video will look good from 2ft out to infinity.
This lens is available in day or night vision ir sensitive, & also works for the hero1, contour plus, roam, drift hd170 & other hd cameras.
Please note that you cannot use the original gopro fish eye lens on the hero2 after it has been modded, thats why we offer our 3.6mm(wide eye) for you or you can choose a 2nd lens from our wide selection.

Note:
The hero3 will fit in the original housing as long as you tear out the foam rubber located in the rear hatch of the waterproof case or lcd backing extender.
If you dont remove that foam piece your door will not shut right and will put to much pressure on the lens since it sticks out 2mm farther than the stock lens did. When you send in your camera for modification send the waterproof case also so we can make that modification to it also & install a new slimmer foam piece to keep the camera snug inside the case. We also mod your camera so it will run cooler than normal.

Our clients do not want the fish eye distorted view that is used on gopro contour sony & drift action cameras.
The modification is very unique and takes over 90 minutes to properly install and assure quality control.
You can google us and see we have many happy customers that use our services: Some of our clients include the military, government, national geographic, discovery channel, NBC, ghost hunters, & FPV groups.

Our lenses/mods can be used for night vision applications or to film professional broadcast quality videos, which the gopro camera is known for but that fisheye view is not good for all applications. We have been told by many of our high end customers that we should charge even more for our services on the hero3 cameras because of the quality they produce using our lenses.

Buying from gopro directly:

1. You will pay sales tax, & shipping charges

2. if your modified camera has a problem & you send it to gopro, they will not warranty it because it was modded.

3. to get gopro to warranty your camera you will need to restore it to stock, we charge 179.00 to restore the camera back to stock, and install a stock lens so you can get it warrantied from gopro directly. You would have to contact gopro for a rma# work order fill out some forms, & wait a few days to even get a response back from gopro. After you have a rma# then you would send it to us, & we can send it to gopro on your behalf/return address using your ups or fed ex account to avoid extra shipping charges. If you dont have a shipping account we can bill you for the shipping cost to mail it to gopro with or without insurance.

4. Gopro can take forever on returns & their tech support is lousy, (just search google about gopro and what you can expect) you dont have to take our word for this.

5. gopro does not test their cameras before shipping them and there has been some brand new out of the box that didnt work at all or had some glitches. You can google that also.
Bottom line, Gopro makes a great camera 1 of a kind no doubt, but you need to decide whats best for you & if you want all the hassles or worry free camera service.

The hero3 black modded kit includes the full hero3 black pkg & we swap the 2.5mm stock lens for our 3.6mm semi fish eye lens (you can choose day or night version) see here:
